I am always struck by the contrast between their claims that the Chinese ways are best and how in reality their first inclination is always to ape the West.
What disrespect to the Greeks. Greek ruins are holding up better than this Chinese junk could ever hope. One hundred years and most of this place will be rubble.
Sorry bub, the most impressive of "Greek" ruins were prior to 800BC (the beginning of the classicly known Ancient Greeks).
What you are thinking came from the Myceneans before the Bronze Age Collapse. The Greeks were so enthralled they believed only giants (Titans) could have built them.
Things didn't really pick in Europe until the Roman Empire.

So best, they can't keep a building from deteriorating under a decade lol

Why are they abandoned? Anyone know?
Fuck China, but there's a part they are in this massive parking garage(?) that's stunning in size. Impressed.

Like a Chernobyl...

Splitting hairs on the point.
